- The game join menu doesn't crash when no games are available
- The game join menu will poll for new games if none are available
- Beam weapons now do damage when swept through other ships
- All incomplete scenarios are have been disabled
- Fighters have photo****ed textures instead of default test patterns
- Minor damge model bugs fixed
- Thrusters flicker slowly enough to be noticable
- Sound effects fade correctly
Regarding the photo****: One thing I really wanted to do in this game was give the fighters a nice metallic look. Metal is shiny! But, if I add shininess to the game it gets choppy. Ugh. But I might have a solution. Rust! Patina! etc.
I want to avoid making the game a rusty-brown shitefest so I'm hoping to go for more of a tarnished silver/brass/bronze/copper look. If, later, I manage to get some decent shininess at decent speed I'll bring back the metal look I wanted originally.
